Thread: owwee, everything hurts, any clue?

hittin you ladies and gents, cuz i'm clueless, and typically not too concerned about usual aches n pains, but this is slightly unusual

my job is lightly physical, but not enuf to make my muscles sore, like i've done a workout, and hip joints are especially sore(and the worrisome part), especially getting out of crossed legs.....never been a problem before and has been going on for 3 days....no cold symptoms or flu.....have a bad knee which is lightly swollen and sciatica, which is controlled....could i just be compensating for these? or something i need to look out for....

some pain and soreness is expected since i'm pretty active, but activity has been light lately. just that being this sore for this long is kinda worrisome, and i'm not usually the worrying type, so anyone have this happen?

My hip always hurts right around that time o the month.

that would make sense, but this is brand spankin' new......never happened before....but it IS something to think about

maybe you're getting sick? or a weather/temp. change?

what happened to me last week is that i stupidly placed myself right in front of a fan during my flamenco class so the cold air was blowing at my back while i was sweating. that same night i started throwing up, shivering, and could barely walk. immense body aches (mainly my lower back) for a good 2 days, sometimes i still feel it when i wake up and cant really dance (thats prolly due to the antibiotics im on now tho..horrible side effects) and ive been on antibiotics since then (and have to be for the next 2 weeks). :(

is anything else off?
just before my bf was diagnosed with diabetes he has really sore muscles, as well as feeling drowsy, craving sugar, drinking Loads, and going very frequently to the bathroom...

I would say if it continues for a day or two more to get thee to a doctor. You could have irritated something in the hips causing bursitis or (if it persists) joint pain an inflammation can be lymes. (I know I sound like a broken record with the Lymes, but I know SO many people, myself included, who have/had this and it goes undiagnosed/untreated for WAY too long.)

Something like this happened to me a few months ago. I needed more magnesium (self-diagnosed). You can take supplements, of course, but I focused on magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, dried apricots, avocados, almonds, cashews, soy, etc. (There's a list here - Magnesium Rich Foods). It went away for me.

you don't say how old you are. I'm thinking your not old enough for menopause, but aches and pains are a common symptom and can come on literally overnight. Just a thought.

oopsie, that IS a point....and i just turned 45......yikes, i hadn't thought of that......

and the magnesium deficiency makes sense as well.....i hadn't had the time to research.....my job was bought out and i don't have as many hours, and no health benefits yet with them.....hence the reaching out......it's a bit better today, but the hip pain worries me cuz that would make not only dancing, but my job kinda difficult if it continues......resting and stretching in the meantime, but i seriously appreciate the input and thoughts on it.....until i can afford to go to a doctor, you all are helping me at least lay SOME concerns to rest, and helps me narrow some things down.....i doubt it's anything major, but it IS mildly debilitating and wanted to make sure there's something i can do to alleviate

thank you so far :D
